Sweet Sketch Wednesday #175


Hi everyone !!!

My name is Helen, I am from Staffordshire in the UK.

I am 42 and have been making cards for about 14 years .... its an obsession I have given up trying to fight, lol .... I am in my craft room every day if I can .... creating brings me a lot of satisfaction.

 I am also enjoying having a lovely time at the moment with my new Granddaughter .... Ruby.... and looking forward to my Grandson being born in a few weeks .... Babies fill your heart with so much joy.

I also have lots of cats running around .... they are all so funny with their own personalities!!!

Ruby - my little angel!!!

Sweet Sketch Wednesday #174

Hello friends!!  This is Sally from Massachusetts. It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Sketch Challenge here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!!  It's my turn to be your Hostess. 
I love Fall in New England - my favorite time of year.  I was up in New Hampshire this past weekend visiting a friend and we went for a lovely ride.  Unfortunately the weather wasn't very cooperative and the sun never did come out, but we had a great time in spite of the weather.  I wanted to share a little of the beauty we experience here in New England with you...  The leaves have started to change, but the colors weren't quite as vibrant as they would have been on a sunny Fall day... 

And now... on to our Challenge...

I am so excited to say that this week our Sponsor is Krista Smith - Saturated Canary.  I love her images!! 
 
"My name is Krista Smith. I am the artist behind the Etsy shop, Saturated Canary Digis. I began working in the stamping world about a year ago when I was hired to create rubber designs for the sweet Scottish company, Sugar Nellie. They launched my artwork under the name 'Simply Sassy.' I moved into the digital world just this past month (it's been a super busy month, indeed!). And-- I love it!! There is a little more freedom here, as I can create anything that pops into my head:)!
I am so humbled by the artistic talent of the girls coloring in my designs-- it is truly an inspiration! Likewise, I am so thankful for the friendships I've made in this wonderful and lovely crafty community! It's been a true delight! I'd love for you to stop by my challenge/inspiration blog, Saturated Canary Challenge and join in the fun...And, while you're there, click over to my personal blog (Saturated Canary) and introduce yourself! I am a bit eclectic and touch on everything from family (I've got me a great one!) to fashion (obsessed!)...Please say 'hi!'...I'd love to be friends!:)"
I encourage you to check out her images at her Saturated Canary Online Shop her images are so much fun to color!!  This week's winner will receive 2 free Digis from Krista!!
